ITV News

And also, there are people moving around in the newsrooms. This is amazing - ITV News is once again at the forefront of news presentation - and ironically it's all thanks to what used to be BBC Broadcast.

Makes you wonder why they held back so much on the BBC News package, eh.

I think the "bong" sounds like the bell has got a crack in it!

I would have thought that the atrium backdrop is the work of ITN's own people - surely they did the election backdrop, not Red Bee.

I hate the way the live links and gfx are overlayed the atrium image though - they should have made them look as if they were on some sort of a screen or something.

apart from the backdrop the studio is the same as before. slightly dissapointed at that as they were out of the studio for 2 days

Would've been interesting to see what the News Channel looked like today, had it still been around.

Heres the new ITV News Opening Titles... very nice as well!

Big Ben does have a crack in it, doesn't it?

2 days !!! What were you expecting ? It takes them over a week to build a regional set.

Think it looks great, but I've always been a fan of the atrium.

I don't like the graphics at all. Full Screen Backings are cool, the Atrium is amazing, and the Titles are good, the graphics let it down.

Really? I'm impressed they only took 2 days, considering the work involved in training the cameras to work with a backdrop like that.

I'm very impressed so far. They've got the Virtual Reality down to a fine art - it's absolutely flawless.

Love the new astons and graphics too - everything looks so much more professional than before.

Presumably the view from the 'window' will change for the evening bulletins when it's dark outside - but I guess we'll just have to wait and see!
